  • PUNISHER BY GREG RUCKA TP VOL 01 – I’m not a Punisher fan at all, so I skipped this series despite knowing that Rucka should be perfect for the Punisher. I have since heard a WordBalloon episode with Rucka talking about it, and I realized I may have misjudged the run. Why? Because Rucka originally turned the job down, citing every problem I have with the Punisher as justification. Editor Steve Wacker responded with “think about it.” Rucka did, called back and took the job specifically to deal with those issues, such as “why don’t the Avengers stop this serial killer?” and the like.
  • THING CLASSIC TP VOL 02

    • Sounds like October’s “Punisher: War Zone” miniseries that wraps up Rucka’s run on the title is all about the Avengers deciding to take Frank Castle down.

      • So… it was on their “to do” list and, what with Skrull invasions and stuff, they just never got around to it?
